ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: THROUGH ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) TO REJUVENATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP!
 
“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (Emphasis Mine).
 
To have and to be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward God in Christ Jesus and to family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such like. Overtime you will notice that though you are in a RELATIONSHIP with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of RELATIONSHIP with all. It thus means it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualised it; and and to actualise it is to ENACT and APPROPRIATE it into reality. This is what makes it functional for one to truly enjoy a RELATIONSHIP genuinely.
 
In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our acts of living, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.
 
Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our REDEMPTION.
 
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).
 
FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through an INTENTIONAL and INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all that Christ Jesus had PAID for you to BE in Him in God’s BLESSEDNESS.
Therefore, be resolved today in your onward and upward trajectory, to ensure that your FELLOWSHIP with God as in anything is not compromise, in order to strengthen, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate your RELATIONSHIP, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The Christmas REASON

By Leave a Comment

The Christmas REASON: The Expression SEASON of God’s LOVE to HUMANITY – in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP!

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

This December . . . and in This Christmas, the season is more than just celebrations and commemoration season. It’s about you enacting and authenticating your LOVE towards God as He does toward you in Christ Jesus stead in order for you to fulfill your life given purpose in Him. More so to access all about you by the revealing enabling that comes through loving God.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them He also CALLED: and whom He CALLED, them He also JUSTIFIED: and whom He JUSTIFIED, them He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“But as it is written, EYE hath not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

And I know, that, by the virtue of birth, my wonderful children have an awesome RELATIONSHIP with me; but if any is to enjoy a MORE THAN the usual, normal and generalised BLESSEDNESS beyond the right to birth-marked, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP to know and understand the path to it – and that path undertaking, it’s their RESPONSIBILITY to make it happen.

Much more in the same scenario, by virtue of God’s love in Christ Jesus’ we obtain RELATIONSHIP in our being born of God (comely called Born Again). But if we are to enjoy the fullness of God, we must endeavour to explore the FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him in Christ Jesus stead. For Lord and Savour Jesus Christ, though He’s God’s son in relationship, has to learn OBEDIENCE through FELLOWSHIP in same scenario in order to obtaining of God all it takes to be, while in humanity as us today.

“. . . 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the DAYS of his FLESH [HUMANITY], when he had OFFERED up PRAYERS [FELLOWSHIP] and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that He FEARED [REVEREND]; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered; 9 and being made perfect, he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 5:1-10/Emphasis Mine.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

Adam lost his FELLOWSHIP at Eden and it cost him dearly for all humanity at Eden as we know. Jesus in humanity maximise His FELLOWSHIP in His humanity and He made all the difference as we know it for the good of all humanity too.

Hence Month December and this Christmas is not about Church or special programs and busy prayer meetings and schedules, but how much of FELLOWSHIP you are having and engaging with Father God personally. This is good and necessary, in order to enhance and boost your worth in Him and for Him. This is what ‘THIS CHRISTMAS’ in ‘THIS DECEMBER’ and ‘THIS DAY’ should be about – The REASON for the SEASON.

It is the FELLOWSHIP that strengthens RELATIONSHIP. Sin hinders the fellowship and in time destroys and erases the relationship as in Eden. Hence during this SEASON of Christmas, give room for the REASON, that is, God’s love in Christ Jesus in relationship for fellowship to count and account for you and your good.

Make time to be ‘ALONE WITH FATHER GOD’ and have your own ACQUAINTANCE with Him. For LOVE makes Christmas a gracious event while SELFISHNESS (SELF-CENTEREDNESS) makes it a burden and pain.

May you have an amazing Christmas in all you do I pray.

Every Blessing.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” 1 John 1:5-7.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalms 16:11).

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine).

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“I am CRUCIFIED with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the LIFE which I now LIVE in the flesh I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who LOVED me, and GAVE himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING

By Leave a Comment

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING: PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP ENHANCED BY FELLOWSHIP!

“Thou wilt shew me THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11 [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6].

Sometimes People talk and almost boast on how much they do fast or have fasted and prayed and praying as to qualify or earn them somehow a spiritual status of greatness; more especially as we are about turning into a new year, some will set days or weeks or months as if they are in a comparable state to prove something. Forgetting that they who go comparing themselves for whatever reason in this Kingdom causes are not Scripturally wise – meaning are foolish, ignorant and immature for such act of comparison intent as written:

“For we DARE not make ourselves of the NUMBER, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

Prayer or praying and fasting is a vitality and necessity for every Christian faith believer in Christ Jesus of which I acclaimed to belong. I love to vitalise my faith through all that, but as important as any or both vitalities and necessities are, they are void if the objective is not primarily about FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God as a result of being born of God and for the good and goodness of God’s cause on earth for mankind in Christ Jesus stead.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

And to engage in an effective PRAYERS and probably with FASTING in FELLOWSHIP to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God for any cause, there’s the need to live a life of FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS to necessitate them. Many may say they can or may FORGIVE but can’t possibly FORGET. Can you imagine God, ONLY FORGIVING you of your shortfalls and NOT FORGETTING about it? and you want to claim to live or be living in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead without such knowing and understanding as God’s offspring?

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye SHALL HAVE them.  25 And WHEN YE STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your TRESPASSES.  26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES” Mark 11:24-26.

And one needs to know that as God is in Christ Jesus, so ARE we in this world, in order to carry on His GOSPEL mandate without an “IF and BUT” baggages – 1 John 4:17-18 [John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5]. This then indicates that there’s therefore something more of a FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES we need to uphold in grace by faith, in order to enhance PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING. Thus, there is more to PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING toward our – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – which are in twine with FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS. Otherwise, prayer will be UNANSWERED and one is only a noise maker of self gratification and in deceptions, no matter how much you acclaimed to prayers or prayer and fasting.

For PRAYER or PRAYING AND FASTING to be effectual – productive and results oriented, it must have the FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL principles called a RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead and enhanced through FELLOWSHIP accordingly. That’s the basic principle that any one who intends to reach out to God must endeavour to establish for themselves otherwise middle men cohorts in the name of God with titles and entitlements, will take advantage of such vulnerability and ignorance, and become a god and wants to do god to such an individual which is unscriptural and unfounded in the Christian FAITH foundation and fundamental, which justification and access by faith is only of – REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward Christ Jesus. Amen. [Acts 20:20-21].

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publicly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

And to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus Christ, the act of communion – FELLOWSHIP, is a necessity and vitality for one to fulfill PURPOSE with God. [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. The act of FELLOWSHIP is to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, and this act to enhance is only possible with a spirited heart of forgiving (FORGIVENESS) and forgetting (FORGETFULNESS) on the human part toward God in Christ Jesus, toward self and toward others. You can’t get yourself entangle with unforgiveness and unforgettable attitude to God, to self and to others and wants to enjoy God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s upon this principle aforementioned, that PRAYERS – PRAYING AND FASTING – act can be of EFFECTUAL – productive and result oriented with the peace, assurance that transcends and surpasses human comprehension and understanding. [Mark 11:20-26; Matthew 5:38-48; James 5:13-18, Philippians 4:6-7. Ephesians 3:14-20].

I pray that you receive the grace for an effectual and efficient FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, that will enhanced your PRAYER life through the Spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness with – God, Self and others – in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT YOURSELVES, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if THINE ENEMY HUNGER, FEED HIM; if he THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, but OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD” Romans 12:19-21.

AFD DECEMBER 2024

WELCOME TO EMMANUEL MONTH – DECEMBER 2024: MONTH OF ENACTING – “EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“That Christ may DWELL in your hearts by faith; that ye, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [SENSES], that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

I sincerely welcome you to the EMMANUEL month – DECEMBER 2024; It is the Month to experience the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, that transcends the reasoning of the senses [see, hear, feel/touch, smell and taste] – that’s the LOVE OF GOD WITH US that’s beyond sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; and it’s the month of experiencing, expressing and enacting the genuity of – THE LOVE OF GOD THAT’S BEYOND KNOWLEDGE – in Christ Jesus that’s dwelling WITH us as IN us and FOR us. So therefore, under God and in God’s divine names in Christ Jesus, I hereby WELCOME you with the hearts of love in Christ Jesus stead, to join me in EMMANUEL MONTH – month DECEMBER 2024 that’s entitled “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus; it is the month for us to KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCEND SENSE KNOWLEDGE as we do life and godly living in the Month with this knowing and understanding that it is also:

THE COMMEMORATION AND CELEBRATIONS OF GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND HIS REDEMPTION CAUSE ON EARTH TO ALL MANKIND.

I am fully persuaded and excited, knowing and understanding by God’s enabling grace that the month DECEMBER as entitled – “THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US” in Christ Jesus, is beyond the beyond human sense knowledge. And it is about EMMANUEL, the God WITH US and the God IN US and the God FOR US, which is the person of JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, The SAVIOUR and The LORD – that’s BORN in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit that’s given and lavished to us, in order to express the God’s love that’s beyond knowledge – senses in our being.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD is shed [lavished] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN UNTO US. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

The Month DECEMBER 2024, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE (12) of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happen to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few for your perusal:

** The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury.

** The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of 12 apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In the most of cases number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection.

** This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can be also used as a symbol of divine rule, actually the symbol of the perfect government of God.

Month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve month as mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s work in humanity as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled:

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall CALL his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For unto you is born THIS DAY in the city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN” Luke 2:11-14.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

Upon the basis of the SCRIPTURES above, I therefore say to you in the name of the Lord God, that by – THIS DAY – BEING TODAY, LET EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS THE CHRIST – The MESSIAH, THE SAVIOUR AND LORD GOD – BE BORN IN YOUR HEARTS as you do life to live godly as themed:

“EMMANUEL! THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US”

The theme as stated is of EMMANUEL – The GOD WITH US. For EMMANUEL indicates – THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE that’s WITH US – and thus signifies God dwelling (or had come to dwell) with humanity – thereby creates a new passage for a new kind of RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP between us and Him that’s built on love and the love of the Fatherhood of God, making a family in Christ Jesus. For we lost this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP in the Eden of Adam; but God in His LOVE at the Birth of JESUS THE CHRIST, has RESTORED this awesome FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP In Him, which was and is made possible, in the CAUSE of His REDEMPTION for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED, 16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man” Ephesians 3:14-16.

God in humanity is JESUS in name; while CHRIST depicts Him as – the EMMANUEL, the MESSIAH, the SAVIOUR, the REDEEMER and the HOLY ONE of Israel for His cause on earth for human redemption.

We’ve been called into this FELLOWSHIP of GOD’S LOVE in Christ Jesus, so that we might enjoy God and the heavens RELATIONSHIP on earth again; so we can say that as “HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” and can joyfully ask of HIS WILL to be done in our domain on this side of heaven call the earth, as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 4:17 and Matthew 6:10.

“Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.

“Thy KINGDOM come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN” Matthew 6:10.

This then is the REASON for the SEASON, the DECEMBER mood that comes along with CHRISTMAS which is:

 “The Yearly and Annual COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on EARTH” for the good of ALL mankind.

And it is as we EXPLORE His LOVE in His PRESENCE in this RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP of JESUS – THE CHRIST, who is our God EMMANUEL, we can then ENACT Him in IN us, FOR us and WITH us; and when our PATH OF LIFE is ordered alright in this essence of God EMMANUEL, we can then enjoy to the FULNESS, the abounding  PLEASURES of God in His grace and BLESSEDNESS forevermore. Amen. [Psalms 16:11; Psalms 65:11-13/NLT; 1 Corinthians 1:9].

Therefore today, as in this Month DECEMBER that prelude the CHRISTMAS season, let’s take advantage of the indwelling LOVE of God in EMMANUEL – JESUS the Christ, in order to enjoy continuously, God’s presence in FELLOWSHIP and in our path of life to keep us thriving, blossoming and glowing with His pleasures in life and godliness.

Therefore Today, THIS DAY, I pray that EMMANUEL – THE LOVE OF GOD WITH US – in the personal of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, comes to be in your life, in this Month DECEMBER, this season that prelude the Christmas, in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Be BLESSED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:9-14.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

“GOD IS FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE IS FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10].

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE, LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – [1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12)]; and that is what makes the relationships of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and to all mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL and in all His way. Amen.

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT

By Leave a Comment

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT: THE HELP-MEET (DIVINE) VS THE HELP-MATE (HUMAN) IN SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT AND PURPOSE!

And God BLESSED them – male (Adam) and female (Eve); for in God’s marital plan – MARRIAGE IS BLESSED not CURSE, more so, it’s not a CURSE thing as some may have acclaimed and or associated respectively because of the difficulties and challenges. And every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT a BLESSING – [1 Peter 3:9 (1-12)]. When God makes you or anything, He makes them good and beautiful [Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalms 139:14]; and in God’s definition of the MARITAL relationship plan, purpose and pursuit – MARRIAGE is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL and is ASSURED – to be sorrow free; for the BLESSING of God MAKES rich, He add no SORROW and CONFUSION with it as the SCRIPTURES enjoined, for God is not the Author or creator of any form of CONFUSION, especially now on MARITAL context – [Genesis 1:28; Proverbs 10:22; 1 Corinthians 14:33].

Be it known today, that when the PURPOSE of a thing is MISUSED, MISUNDERSTOOD, MISCONSTRUED, MISINTERPRETED and MISAPPROPRIATED, then ABUSE and ABUSIVENESS takes its root and cause. The term ABUSE means in essence, the – ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR – and in marriage or marital relationship context, is simply for the lack of knowledgeable understanding of God’s definition and intent (PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT) in marriage. This is likened to or a results of ‘MEN’ who don’t LEAD but are BOSSY, and ‘WOMEN’ who don’t FOLLOW but SUBVERT DIVERGENTLY their places in grace to suit individuals intent and context of definition, which is contrary to scriptural demands and context. Hence we see some major reason for ‘Marital Conflict and Confusion’ in the Christian Faith.

Know full well that GOD WILL ONLY COMMEND WHAT HE COMMANDS. As such, when HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE as a result of NO LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP to Scripturally context and demands, what then do you expect to happen in such unscriptural context? There will be absence of the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING BLESSEDNESS of God’s WORD, to make such relationship BECOME what God intended it to be in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; this is what then makes every human efforts and investment in time, finance, material and such like to ENDS up in CONFUSIONS and FRUSTRATION. As such, God’s intent (PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS) in marital causes will be HINDERED; more so, it will become as in many cases, a VAIN CAUSE that OUGHT not to have been started and ventured into. That’s   just one of the major aspects while Apostle Paul in his scriptural context, will make known of not frustrating the enabling grace available to him to do the gospel assignment as he scriptural stated – [Galatians 2:21].

“I do not FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God: for if RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOD’S INTENT) come by the LAW (MAN’S DEFINITION), then Christ is DEAD in VAIN” Galatians 2:21 (Emphasis Mine).

Effective MANAGEMENT of any proven good and thriving cause is born in the LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP that makes it be. Meaning, if you wants as a MAN your WOMAN to provide you the ANGELIC needed HELP MEET, provide her the HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD and LEADERSHIP that is desirable of Angels – [Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20]; for ANGELS don’t dwell in HELL to provide and give the good deeds as DESIRED of them from God. You can’t hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expects a heavenly outpour of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in His BLESSEDNESS. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS. Same it’s applicable too of any marital woman (wife) who WANTS a heavenly husband but UNPREPARED and not READY to FOLLOW his LEAD and LEADERSHIP accordingly, as Sarah FOLLOWED Abraham in scriptural context of God’s LEAD in her husband.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” Romans 1:18-19.

“. . . 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any amazement . . . ” 1 Peter 3:1-12 (Ephesians 5:21-31).

TAKE TIME NOW TO PAUSE and THINK carefully on this note and context below.

In SCRIPTURAL terms, the word ‘HELP MEET’ as in Genesis 2:18 Scripture, is the same INTERPRETATION not in TRANSLATION, called PARACLETE as in Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Holy Spirit, who is our BEING HELPER; He’s our enabling HELPER in weakness and strenght, to meet up and be qualified to God’s demands and obligations in life and grace. Hence we can say He is our HELP MEET to make up to God’s BLESSEDNESS and not a HELP-MATE TO COMPETE AND FIGHT with, either within and without, and by any measure, in order to fulfill God’s SCRIPTURAL demands in His BLESSEDNESS. When God made ADAM (male), He gave him an assignment that is PRINCIPLED with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY long before EVE (female) the wife was made. Indicating a male folks has an assignment with God, knowingly or unknowingly. An it is in the order to ACHIEVE the given divine assignment in BLESSEDNESS, that God provides a HELPER or HELP-MEET as it’s written:

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be ALONE (in PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT); I will make him an HELP MEET (to fulfill PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT) for him” Genesis 2:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities (weakness and limitations): for we KNOW NOT what we SHOULD pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Romans 8:26 (Emphasis Mine).

We can end all these divergent confusion and daily crises in MARITAL RELATIONSHIP places when we maintain in life and grace that which God has allowed us be. Be profoundly happy what God made you be, and therein you will find meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, know for sure again and again, that God only COMMENDS obedience to what He COMMANDS. Any breaking of His Word as Adam did to satisfy the statuesque outside His BLESSEDNESS, will make God’s Word and enabling grace for the individual inoperative. It’s for this and such like, that many Believers today live beneath the FULLNESS made available for them  by God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus – who is our REDEMPTION DEED, Saviour and Lord. Hence, let the man show forth the genuine SCRIPTURAL leadership and the woman same like following. For its when the Woman wants to FOLLOW and the Man is BOSSY instead of showing leadership, there will be wahala wahala, that’s trouble trouble. In same scenario, when a men offers LEADERSHIP and the woman can’t follow for whatsoever reasons, there’s bound to be confusion and chaos. That’s the foundation to all other conflicts and side effects respectively – [Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:11-14].

I pray that your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP will find a daily meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

TO MAKE A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD

By Leave a Comment

TO MAKE SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICES TO GOD: THIS IS BY FELLOWSHIP – IT’S WHAT ENSURES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP.

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH [Senses]” Philippians 3:3/Emphasis Mine.

It’s a gracious and graceful spirit to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE tim ACCEPTABLY; however,  a true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVING is the FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus stead – this is what ENSURES and ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with the Father God in Christ Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit that’s given to us; and as such, we’ve been CALLED by Father God into this place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance our RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And this act of FELLOWSHIP to ensure our RELATIONSHIP with Father God is been manifested within and through our spirit being to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. [1 John 4:19-24; Philippians 3:3].

By virtue of Salvation – being Born Again (born from above) – in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have RELATIONSHIP with God. And this RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to and with God’s nature which sets us apart as a Holy person and people unto God; and to the RIGHTS – the righteousness of Christ – in order to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid and not inferior; and the resultant of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, is to having and keeping a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God; but to enhance and ensures that RELATIONSHIP, in order to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus, we need to FELLOWSHIP – the unhindered conscious reverence of God worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE.

One great acts of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE to God in Christ Jesus stead. Worship and Service in this context – is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. Meaning it’s not necessarily only when you are in the acts of positioned and customised spot and such likes, but in total opening of your spirit being always and towards Father God in order to ease and have unhindered communication whenever. That’s the WORSHIP and SERVICE bore in human spirit by the Holy Spirit in the light of the WORD unto God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. Also, this act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship is NOT the mere religious thinking of the accustomed lifting hands and singing in praises ONLY while in a collective group gathering with a leading choir directing, wherein afterwards there’s no further room of communication until another customised status quo.

The True, genuine and WORTHILY Worship and Service is you in fellowship with God with your spirit being through His WORD by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus stead, irrespective of where you are – with many or alone. It’s not about the noise or shouting but your spirit communing or in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto the Father God in Christ Jesus stead by the WORD. Amen.

A SENSE of TRUE WORSHIP and SERVICE is sum as the act of welcoming, accessing and giving the heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice through your spirit being by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God. One can’t acclaim to WORSHIP and SERVE God and be a WORSHIPPER of God, beside His WORD and by Holy Spirit in the human spirit being.

I pray that you will take on the necessary measures for you to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP AND SERVICE.

I pray you get UNDERSTANDING. Be BLESSED in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. Amen.

“For he is NOT a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH (SENSES): 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the LETTER; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:28-29 (Emphasis Mine).

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

” I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the life which I now LIVE in the FLESH (BODY OF SENSES) I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Galatians 2:20 (Emphasis Mine).

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]” Philippians 1:21.

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: THROUGH ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) TO REJUVENATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP!

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (Emphasis Mine).

To have and to be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward God in Christ Jesus and to family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such like. Overtime you will notice that though you are in a RELATIONSHIP with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of RELATIONSHIP with all. It thus means it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualised it; and to actualise it is to ENACT and APPROPRIATE it into reality. This is what makes it functional for one to truly enjoy a RELATIONSHIP genuinely.

In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our acts of living, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.

Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our REDEMPTION.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).

FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through an INTENTIONAL and INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all that Christ Jesus had PAID for you to BE in Him in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Therefore, be resolved today in your onward and upward trajectory, to ensure that your FELLOWSHIP with God as in anything is not compromise, in order to strengthen, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate your RELATIONSHIP, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35 (Emphasis Mine).

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead. However, it’s operations in the Believer’s life, depends on the individual to make it happen within the pure context of the given redemption rights and privileges, and not in anywhere irrespective.

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself because of the wanting desire that’s born through the cravings of a lustful spirit that’s not ruled, governed, controlled and lead by the TRIUMPH Spirit of dominion.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, but by the by the WORD of God, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise known and called a supernatural being, because the human spirit is empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you – that indicates that the Super Spirit of God meets up with the natural [human] spirit of man – making the SUPERNATURAL.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to reach out to God, to be in God or to be with God, in the Kingdom cause, in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD and not in a vacuum, hence you can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – for in doing so, you only contact demons by such sphere not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING; and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God. Upon FAITH communication we ensure the assured redemption deed of Christ Jesus in us.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. This thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference – For demon’s will always occupy a vacuum hearts not filled up with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit – [human spirit] and in the truth – [the Word of God]

“When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he WALKETH through DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it EMPTY, SWEPT, and GARNISHED. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the LAST state of that man is WORSE than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” Matthew 12:43-45.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the placOUmen ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/HEARING

** SEE/SEEING

** TASTE/TASTING

** SMELL/SMELLING

** FEEL/TOUCH [FEELING/TOUCHING]

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These EFFECTS are as written and experienced in the Scriptures which are of these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS shows up and was experienced at the beginning times by Mrs Eve and Mr Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7].

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was DEFEATED with his flesh [fleshy] Introductory scheme by the WORD of God that Christ Jesus utilized by Holy Spirit in the lead. [Luke 4:1-13].

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, as satan and cohorts are looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPH and a NO WORD then means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT and FAILURES and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD, otherwise it will then be Magic, Sorcery, Traditional belief, dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made make-belief’s, denominational indoctrination, by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES and DEEDS and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust.

BE BLESSED.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“. . . 6 And when the woman SAW that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat . . .” Genesis 3:1-7.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

THE CHRISTMAS REASON: THE EXPRESSION SEASON OF GOD’S LOVE

By Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTMAS REASON: THE EXPRESSION SEASON OF GOD’S LOVE – IN RELATIONSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP!

By the virtue of birth, my gracious, sweet, loving and dear wonderful children have an awesome RELATIONSHIP with me. But if any is to enjoy a more than the usual, normal and generalised BLESSEDNESS of GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP and COMMUNION to know and understand the path to it, that’s their RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY.

Much more in the same scenario, by virtue of God’s love in Christ Jesus’ we obtain RELATIONSHIP in our being born of God (comely called Born Again). But if we are to enjoy the fullness of God, we must endeavour to explore a FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him. Adam lost his fellowship at Eden and it cost him at Eden as we know till date with the afterward generations of him. Jesus in humanity maximise His FELLOWSHIP and He made all the difference as we know.

This is not about Church or special programs and busy prayer meetings and schedules, but how much of fellowship you are having with Father God personally, to enhance and boost your worth in Him and for Him is what ‘This Christmas’ in ‘This December’ and ‘This Day’ should be about. The REASON for the SEASON.

It is the fellowship that strengthens relationship. Sin hinders the fellowship and in time destroys the relationship as in Eden. Hence during this season of Christmas, give room for the reason, that is, God’s love in Christ Jesus in relationship for fellowship to count and account for you. Make time to be ‘ALONE WITH FATHER GOD’.

Every Blessing in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
